1) We de-institutionalized the mentally ill in the late 20th century and started letting people roam around among the public while doped up on psychotropic drugs (there were compelling reasons for reform, but the overall changes we made were really ill-advised). Now we treat "disturbed" minors by feeding them drugs and sending them to school with everyone else where they will inevitably be bullied for being nuts, but they won't handle it like a well-balanced individual would. Privacy laws sometimes prevent parents from learning from medical professionals that their 18+ year-old child is a verified psycho who should be on serious meds or locked up, and parents have a very steep uphill battle if they want to get their kid committed to an institution for serious evaluation and treatment.

2) Our country has become increasingly Balkanized in the past 30 or so years as populations of oftentimes unassimilable demographics have exploded (thanks to the treasonous 1965 immigration act which prioritized immigration from the Third World). School busing has compounded this problem with respect to public schools. As the political left has worked to undermine civic institutions like the nuclear family, churches, etc., young people (especially those with existing mental issues) often have no meaningful sense of brotherhood/community with their peers, instead viewing them more as extras in a film about their own lives. Expendable.

The above root problems are compounded further by social media saturation which counter-intuitively makes these unstable people feel even more isolated, adrift in a sea of miscellaneous people who are either nothing like them culturally or who are like them but appear to be part of an "in" group that the subject cannot be a part of.

In no particular order:

- ****ty parents. Kids grow up with parents that don't give a **** about them, or love them, but are more interested in being on friendly terms with their kids than they are in raising kids who become good people and productive members of society. Too many kids grow up with a dad that is either absent, or if he's there, he isn't a strong male role model or any sort of authority figure.

- No community support. In the past, even if you had ****ty parents, you probably still had neighbors, your church, etc that you could turn to for support as a kid. My neighbor's dad was a grade A ******* and treated his kids like crap. His son, who was a good friend of mine growing up, was constantly at our house. At least he could tell that somebody, somewhere in the world cared about him. That's virtually nonexistant now.

- Glorification of violence. Our entertainment is more violent than it's ever been. This has the effect of desensitizing people that are already a little unhinged. People become obsessed with violence.

- Improper mental health care. The general response of healthcare professionals when somebody is mentally ill is to hand them a prescription for some kind of pills and turn them loose on society. There are virtually no in patient facilities and it's virtually impossible to force anyone to comply with treatment, even if they have shown violent tendencies.

-Dehumanizing those we disagree with. Our society is totally fractured. Our politicians call each other things like "deplorables" (I picked Hillary's term for Trump supporters but both sides are guilty of this). It's easy to pull the trigger when the person you're killing is a worthless piece of trash.

With the advent of the internet, isolation and echo chambers are huge threats to kids growing up today.

Society has a balancing effect on people. If you were spouting off radial ideas or actions before the internet age, people would tell you to change or they'd stop interacting with you. It's not like you'd sit in your basement all day by yourself reinforcing those ideas, so eventually you'd change.

Now, you can go down some deep rabbit holes and you can always find a group to join who will reinforce those ideas. You don't need to interact with society anymore. Parents can fill that balancing role, but for some of these kids without strong parental guidance, there's nobody to re-balance them when they get off track.

Social media creating loneliness in individuals.

Many people ITT tend to agree with one another on the reasons why there are mass shootings.

Mass shootings have been on the rise the past 30 years, meanwhile home gun ownership has been going down and total violent crimes have been going down...but it's guns

also, kids are a reflection of their parents; if kids dont have good coping mechanisms, theres a strong probability that the parents dont either. weak children=weak parents

We still acting like this is a mystery? Everyone is posting good points, some overly specific. What it boils down to is mentally ill, social outcast, nihilistic individuals. When you are rejected by your peer group and the opposite sex, especially for young men, that's a highly volatile mix for someone who lacks the mental capacity or upbringing of a normal, healthy person. Add in an individuals desire to be noticed or remembered, and you can get heinous acts like this.

I think anything that leads to excess and worn out dopamine and limbic system. Overstimulation makes people feel beta, and thus the need to lash out or something grandiose and dramatic for a thrill increases.

It's really refreshing to see so many people ITT who understand reality and the underlying problems rather than comforting themselves with convenient lies. It can get discouraging browsing through social media and seeing the number of braindead know-it-alls posting BS misinformation about how guns are the problem.

What's changed is recognition. If you don't want to be a nobody, you can be a somebody in 5 minutes with an assault rifle.

We're all part of the problem. Britain has had its share of nutters. But we're all accident ghouls, lapping up every last detail of any murder spree, and immortalising the perpetrator.

If you REALLY want to help STOP BUYING from the idiotic news media who want to tell you what the shooter had for breakfast and what his 3rd grade teacher thought of him. Don't buy the newspaper with his photo on it, turn off the news channels 3 hour docu special.

Took the media years, but they've finally stopped broadcasting the killers name constantly and doing in-depth investigative pieces on them.

I mean his name is still everywhere...but the stuff they did with Adam Lanza, for comparison, was borderline glorifying. Like a virgin spree shooter's wet dream.

what is disciplining though??

is a spank really going to change someone?

i used to get my ass beat by my parents and it made me more rebellious.
no i didnt become a **** up or a school shooter but it certainly didnt help with my mental state of having built up emotions, less attached to family (i still care for them but dont feel much for them if that makes sense)

The question is why. Biologically, we are still the same as ever, so we know it's something environmental or a combination of factors.

Lots of good points already mentioned. There was a BBC documentary called The Batman Killer - A Prescription for Murder. It goes into the possible connection between James Holmes' use of SSRI'S and his mass murder. When you have so many people taking these drugs, the "extremely rare" side effects will show up in a sample size that large.

As a side note I wonder if the notorious MK Ultra behavior modification experiments might have been at least in part to test out these drugs on human subjects. These are powerful drugs that manipulate brain chemistry. I can't see it being considered ethical to test these out on knowing participants especially in the early stages of development when they had no idea what to expect.

Yep pretty much this

Kids have built up absolutely no resistance mechanisms. Nothing is ever their fault and the world is supposed to always accept them no matter what.

That’s what they are being taught.

No sh*t they’re gonna have a breakdown when reality comes knocking on their door. It’s overwhelming at that point, there’s no progression of coping

Kids are way too sensitive because of the mentality they have been fed from the beginning.

All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

I had to scroll the xit out of the first page until I got to the real issue.

Just lol @ people who think the liberal market of guns is not the real issue.

The honest truth is there needs to be control selling guns.

Do you honestly think that random people should be allowed to buy semiautomatics? Just fuarkin lol @ guncels.


Serious, implement a fukin license to have gun, and you can buy the fukin guns if you pass several levels of the license. Does not go agains the 4th amendment. The right still there, only harder to buy guns. Make psychological test for people to buy guns or some xit also.
